Smokefree campus

Large parts of the University are smokefree as part of our
commitment to providing a healthy and safe environment for all
staff and students.

Smoking is already prohibited in all UWE Bristol
buildings. Our Smokefree
policy now prohibits smoking within ten metres of all
university buildings, so creating a smokefree space.

Operations and Security staff will be
patrolling to make sure that smokers are aware of where they can
and cannot smoke.

Where can I smoke?

If you wish to smoke you will need to
move ten metres from University buildings.

E-cigarettes

The use of e-cigarettes is prohibited inside
all UWE Bristol buildings.

E-cigarettes can be used within the smokefree
areas highlighted above, but away from doorways and windows so it
does not affect other students and staff. A recent
Public Health England report identified e-cigarettes as a game
changer for public health, and 95% safer than smoking traditional
tobacco.

Additional information

If you would like to quit smoking the NHS and
Tobacco Free Life have
useful resources, support and guidance available to help you
stop.
